Admissions Test

The LSAT

The Law School Admission Test, also known as the LSAT, is the only test accepted by all American Bar Association accredited law schools. While there have been recent attempts of voting to remove the LSAT as a requirement for law school, those attempts have been unsuccessful and pre-law students are still expected to take the LSAT for law school admission. The LSAT is an aptitude test and aims to test students' logical reasoning, critical thinking, analytical and reading comprehension skills.

The LSAT is broken into four 35-minute sections of multiple choice questions and an unscored writing section. The unscored writing section is done separately from the multiple choice sections but students' writing sections are sent to all law schools for which they have submitted applications. Three of the four multiple choice sections of the exam are scored and one section is unscored as a way to test out new test questions to make sure they are free from bias.

Students can find more details about the LSAT and register for the exam on the LSAC website.
